With recent advances paving the way for increasingly complex applications of endoscopic procedures, Dr. Cole’s campaign offers an expert take on new potential applications.
Dr. Cole explains that endoscopy refers to any procedure where a device inserted into the patient’s body is used to get relevant visual data. Among recent advances in robotics, endoscopic procedures are becoming more flexible and easy to adapt to a wide range of surgical interventions.
An important application of cutting-edge endoscopic technology is in the early treatment of breast cancer. Dr. Cole cites a 2019 study (1) that concluded that “RANSM [Robot-assisted Nipple-sparing Mastectomy] with IBR [Immediate Breast Reconstruction] is a feasible and safe surgical treatment for early breast cancer and benign conditions. Although robotic technology is a relatively recent introduction, RANSM with IBR showed a rapid learning curve.”
The experienced surgeon also emphasizes the role of endoscopy in ophthalmic surgery, where navigation-enabling telescopes (2) have been shown to increase anatomical awareness and help surgeons achieve better overall results.
Dr. Cole explains that endoscopic procedures are generally very safe, with rare complications including bleeding or local infections.
